For seven years since starting Potomac Local, one of the biggest complaints I heard from our readers and residents of our community is that there is no one single source to read all of the obituaries following the demise of the Potomac News / Manassas Journal Messenger newspapers.

Potomac Local just solved this problem by building a NEW, comprehensive obituaries section that automatically posts obituaries from all funeral homes in Prince William County and Manassas.

Hey, 1 Million Cups — Many of you know me as a volunteer organizer of our weekly group sessions, but this week I’ll be presenting to our group in search of feedback for a new initiative we are working on at my company, as we continue to work to tell the story of our community and to connect those who live in it.

Potomac Local will turn six years old this year, and we’re working on a new program that provides our customers with more options to work with professional writers to tell their stories and to show their impact in our community. At the same time, we’re exploring the possibility of holding more events in the area to connect our readers with our customers, as well as to help educate new residents on all the things our vibrant community has to offer.
